Betr Picks House Rules
Contest Description:
Betr Picks fantasy contests come in multiple different formats by drafting a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, 5-player, 6-player, 7-player, 8-player, 9-player or 10-player lineup, with players selected from at least two teams. Users cannot draft a roster of players drafted entirely from one team. The user must correctly select more or less for each player's projection and get the specified number of picks correct in their chosen entry type (Dynamic Play or Perfect Play) in order to win the prize posted prior to entry. Users will lose the contest if they do not get the posted amount of picks correct and therefore forfeit their entry fee.
Entry Requirements:
Betr Picks entries must include a lineup with at least two players. Lineups must also include players selected from at least two teams. Users cannot create a lineup of players drafted entirely from one team. These rules must also be met upon settlement and does not include voided players.
Prize Calculation:
Prior to entering a contest, the entry fee and total prize are posted for you on the lineup page. The entry fee amount listed is what will be deducted from your balance upon entry, and the prize amount listed is what will be credited to your account upon winning. The prize does not include the contest entry fee. For example: winning an entry with a $5 entry fee with a multiplier of 3x would result in a $15 prize added to your account upon completion.
Effect of scheduling changes and/or canceled sporting events:
When an event is canceled prior to starting, all related picks will be void and accounts will be refunded if necessary.
If any game is abandoned due to injury, bad weather, crowd trouble, etc. all contests that have already been settled until the time of abandonment will stand.
A contest shall remain valid as long as it still meets our valid entry requirements, notwithstanding a game or an event that is part of the contest being void
Events or competitions which are not held, get postponed and/or rescheduled for a time/date longer than 12 hours from the last scheduled time issued by the governing body due to bad weather, crowd trouble or similar scenarios may be declared void with the following exceptions where contests may remain valid:
Events whose starting times have not been officially confirmed yet by the governing body at the time of contest entry.
Events that are moved due to scheduling conflicts/tv broadcasts/weather/etc but remain scheduled to be played within the same matchday/game week/round (as applicable) and the change does not change the order of official fixtures for any of the participants in the offer.
Events that are part of larger multi-day events
Player Pick Voiding:
A player pick may be marked as voided for the following reasons:
The player did not play - If players do not play a single minute, second, snap, or something similar for any reason, they will be marked as voided. This is subject to sport-specific rules.
The player tied his projection exactly - If the player ties his projection for a category exactly the player pick will be voided as it was not more or less than the projection.
The game was canceled or postponed to a different day - Picks may be marked as voided because of a game cancellation or postponement to a new day. This is subject to sport-specific rules.
Sport-Specific Rules - Different sports have specific rules as to what constitutes a did not play (DNP). Please refer to the sport did not play (DNP) rules list for more information.
App Error - Betr Picks reserves the right to void any pick as a result of an app error. Picks that are made with clear errors will be voided. For example, if LeBron James’ point projection for a game is set to 65 points, it will be voided.
